Op. 85-In his Passion oratorio Christus am Ölberge [The Mount of Olives] Beethoven succeeded firstly in building on the 18th century tradition and secondly in putting his own personal stamp on the nascent genre of German-language oratorio – the Vienna performances of Haydn’s Die Schöpfung and Die Jahreszeiten had only taken place a few years earlier. In composing the work he looked towards contemporary opera using a text by an opera librettist to depict in music the dramatic situation of the doubting Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane and his arrest. Yet we do not do justice to Beethoven’s work if we simply regard it as a successor work to Graun’s Der Tod Jesu or even Bach’s StMatthew Passion. Beethoven’s Christus am Ölberge is characterized less by religious devotion and much more by the dramatic realization of a specific situation in the Passion story in deeply-felt musical scenes. With its magnificent almost operatic music this is a different Passion oratorio which is definitely worth hearing and experiencing – and in this form it is without doubt unique in the history of vocal-instrumental sacred music. The edition follows the first printed edition in music and tekst: differences in the text in the libretto originally set by Beethoven are given as a second text and a singable English translation is underlaid.
